Radio Tray is one of the most popular Linux users to listen to web radio directly from your Linux distribution. Special features of Radio Tray is to be easy to use and non-invasive because once you start going to add an applet in our panel and from there we will be able to add and manage categories for our favorite web radio.

It supports most popular formats such as m3u. pls ess being written in python we can install
any Linux desktop environment such as Gnome Shell, KDE, Xfce, LXDE
Cinnamon, etc. Mate DE. In recent years lffl has provided a PPA which
allowed to install Radio Tray with already a collection of the major Italian radio such as Radio Rai, Radio Deejay, Radio 105, etc..

Given the many demands of the deb packages we decided to make an exception to the rule that does not give the packages but the list with the web radio constantly updated so that it can be installed in any Linux distribution.

I also remember that you can create a list with your favorite web radio by placing links that can be found for example from this portal.
